Raptor 332ts cargo weight
I am looking at buying a 2014 Raptor 332ts and am concerned about a couple of things. The cargo weight (2845lbs) doesn't seem to be high enough for a toy hauler and was wanting some feedback from some...

To the OP!
When shopping for trailers -you should always use the GVWR numbers and the related PIN weight for that GVWR number. In the case of the 332TS
16500 GVWR with 23.65% PIN weight = 3902. Arriving at the calculated PIN is easy. Divide dry hitch weight by dry weight = pin %
3230 divided by 13655 = pin %
Gasoline weighs 6.073/gallon
LPG @4.2/gallon
Water @8.3/gallon
Group 24 /Group GC2 Batteries 55-65 each
Also when shopping, remember that dry weights are very misleading. They typically do not include the weight of options installed. Very important to do some other calculations, too. Like is the carrying capacity actually realistic or suitable for the way you camp or will camp in the trailer lifetime. Calculate your toy payload, storage batteries, LPG, fuel in the fuel station, potable water -if you plan on dry camping plus kitchen stuff and personal stuff. All the stuff you will bring!
This is important as the OEM's are notorious on disclosure details of weight...
